Black Knight: Home prices hit yet another new high in June

Home prices increased from last month, reaching another all-new high, according to the monthly Home Price Index released by Black Knight Financial Services.

Home prices increased 0.9% from May to $281,000 in June, setting yet another all-new peak for home prices. This represents an increase of 6.2% from last year, according to the report.
